Ored SOng-and dance shirt and a habit of
talking about nothing but sporting
events being the only noticeable char
acteriSticS of his mission in life. He
was formerly bo0k-keeper in New
York wholesale grocery house, but left
it because the proprietOrS would not fit
up gymnasium in the Office and lay a
bicycle track around the building. He
came West to Chicago but the lake

from the nav of Eastern sports and Sc
cured for Minneapolis. Manager Wal
